More quotes by Lois Lowry
The mind can’t explain it, and you can’t make it go away. It’s called love.
Lois Lowry
He was free to enjoy the breathless glee that overwhelmed him: the speed, the clear cold air, the total silence, the feeling of balance and excitement and peace.
Lois Lowry
His mind reeled. Now, empowered to ask questions of utmost rudeness-and promised answers-he could, conceivably (though it was almost unimaginable), ask someone, some adult, his father perhaps: Do you lie? But he would have no way of knowing if the answer he received was true.
Lois Lowry
I see all of them. All the colors.
Lois Lowry
It's a funny thing about names, how they become a part of someone.
Lois Lowry
And they are beginning to realize that the world they live in is a place where the right thing is often hard, sometimes dangerous, and frequently unpopular.
Lois Lowry
I would say that most of my books are contemporary realistic fiction... a couple, maybe three, fall into the 'historic fiction' category. Science fiction is not a favorite genre of mine, though I have greatly enjoyed some of the work of Ursula LeGuin. I haven't read much science fiction so I don't know other sci-fi authors.
Lois Lowry
...now he saw the familiar wide river beside the path differently. He saw all of the light and color and history it contained and carried in its slow - moving water and he knew that there was an Elsewhere from which it came, and an Elsewhere to which it was going
Lois Lowry
What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?
Lois Lowry
So actually, there could be parents-of-the-parents-of-the-parents-of-the parents?
Lois Lowry
I believe without a single shadow of a doubt that it is necessary for young people to learn to make choices. Learning to make right choices is the only way they will survive in an increasingly frightening world.
Lois Lowry
He hunched his shoulders and tried to make himself smaller in the seat. He wanted to disappear, to fade away, not to exist.
Lois Lowry
I make up the characters in my books, but of course my consciousness is filled with every child I've ever known, including my two grandchildren, my own kids (I had four) and especially myself as a child, because that person still lives inside me, too.
Lois Lowry
Gabe? The newchild stirred slightly in his sleep. Jonas looked over at him. There could be love, Jonas whispered.
Lois Lowry
There's much more. There's all that goes beyond – all ... that is Elsewhere – and all that goes back, and back, and back. I received all of those, when I was selected. And here in this room, all alone, I re-experience them again and again. It is how wisdom comes. And how we shape our future.
Lois Lowry
Fear dims when you learn things.
Lois Lowry
I knew that there had been times in the past-terrible times-when people had destroyed others in haste,in fear, and had brought about their own destruction
Lois Lowry
Early on I came to realize something, and it came from the mail I received from kids. That is, kids at that pivotal age, 12, 13 or 14, they're still deeply affected by what they read, some are changed by what they read, books can change the way they feel about the world in general. I don't think that's true of adults as much.
Lois Lowry
The writer after all is only half the book, the other half is the reader.
Lois Lowry
Sometimes I wish they'd ask for my wisdom more often - there are so many things I could tell them things I wish they would change. But they don't want change. Life here is so orderly, so predictable - so painless. It's what they've chosen.
Lois Lowry
